Ball of Westville are convalescing fron tonsil and adenoid operations. How well I remember working one summer around an old steam engine with a threshing crew. Some of the boys used to get tired pitching wheat into that hungry separator all through the long, hot, dusty days. So one or another of them would manage to run a belt off the elevator or chuck a bunch of wet bundles in to chtfke or even send a pitcnfo'rlk through to close the machine down go they could rest. Now a peculiar thing always happened to that steam engine as it etood there idle while repairs were being made on the separator.

Its steam energy would mount high; it would throb and tremble with pent up power; and the only thing that saved it from blowing itself to pieces and scattering destruction everywhere was its safety valve, through which it "popped off." -Discussion is a safety valve through which a town or community may pop It presents an opportunity for an individual, a business concern, an institution or any local to express an opinion on any ydnC and 8 "Crooked polities" is an excuse nlany people give for hot taking a more active part in public affairs.

Government may be carried on in two forms. One relieves the people of all responsibility of helping to solve the problems of social control. Those in positions of authority make the decisions and hand them down to Jhe people to be obeyed.

In such a form of government the individual has no rights. Public discission and debate are forbidden; free speech and free press are not tolerated. This, of course, is the rule of. the Dictator. The other form of government assumes that final authority rests upon the individual citizen; "the government of the people, by the people, for the people." Free Assemblage, free in which all groups have an equal opportunity to hear and be heardV-are not only allowed but encouraged.
